Latar Belakang

Baba Nyonya, juga dikenali sebagai Peranakan atau Cina Selat, ialah keturunan pendatang Cina yang berkahwin dan berasimilasi dengan komuniti tempatan di Malaysia, Singapura dan Indonesia, di antara abad kelima belas dan ketujuh belas. Bilangan pendatang Cina meningkat ketika lombong timah di Kesang, Johor dibuka dan mula beroperasi. Dengan Melaka sebagai pusatnya, budaya Baba Nyonya telah berkembang dan membangun menjadi satu identiti campuran tersendiri. Komuniti Baba Nyonya ini berbeza daripada komuniti etnik Cina, tetapi mereka tetap menganggap diri mereka sebagai orang Cina.

“Baba” ialah satu gelaran hormat yang digunakan untuk lelaki Cina Selat, manakala “Nyonya” digunakan untuk perempuan. Kebanyakan mereka telah tinggal di sepanjang Selat Melaka sejak turun-temurun, dan berpendidikan Inggeris. Disebabkan latar belakang mereka, mereka boleh bertutur dalam dua atau lebih bahasa, dan selalu bertindak sebagai orang tengah bagi orang Cina dan British, serta Melayu dan Cina.

 

Mitos asal usul Baba Nyonya

Salah satu mitos atau cerita tentang asal usul Baba Nyonya boleh didapati di blog Humanity. Secara ringkasnya, mitos tersebut mendakwa bahawa Zheng He dari China telah melawat Melaka pada abad ke-15 dan menghadiahkan Puteri Hang Li Po kepada Sultan Mansur Shah, iaitu Sultan Melaka pada ketika itu. Pengiring-pengiring Puteri Hang Li Po kemudiannya membina penempatan di Bukit Cina dan memulakan pembangunan budaya Baba Nyonya.

Kaum Peranakan mengekalkan kebanyakan amalan etnik dan keagamaan asal (penyembahan roh nenek moyang) tetapi mengasimilasi bahasa dan budaya Melayu. Mereka mewujudkan budaya dan makanan yang unik. Banyak sumber mengatakan yang kaum Peranakan awal berkahwin campur dengan populasi Melayu tempatan. Namun demikian, kurangnya persamaan fizikal membuatkan ramai pakar percaya bahawa etnisiti Cina Peranakan tidak berkurangan. Orang Peranakan lazimnya menghantar anak lelaki dan perempuan ke China untuk mencari pasangan. Kenyataan ini dikuatkan lagi memandangkan agama populasi Melayu tempatan ialah Islam, yang melarang perkahwinan campur dengan berlainan agama tanpa memeluk Islam terlebih dahulu. Pada awal 1800, pendatang Cina baharu ke Penempatan Selat mengukuhkan populasi kaum Peranakan.

Pada pertengahan abad kedua puluh, kebanyakan orang Peranakan berpendidikan Inggeris, hasil daripada kolonisasi British ke atas Tanah Melayu, dan juga kecenderungan semula jadi orang Peranakan yang mudah untuk menerima budaya baru. Disebabkan kesediaan mereka menerima budaya dan pendidikan Inggeris ini, jawatan-jawatan pentadbiran dan perkhidmatan awam selalunya diisi oleh orang Cina Selat yang terkemuka. Interaksi dengan orang British ini juga menyebabkan ramai komuniti Peranakan memeluk agama Kristian. Komuniti Peranakan menjadi sangat berpengaruh di Melaka dan Singapura dan turut dikenali sebagai ‘King’s Chinese’ (Cina Raja) kerana kesetiaan mereka kepada Kerajaan British. Interaksi pelbagai bahasa dan budaya ini menyebabkan, sehingga ke pertengahan 1900, kebanyakan Peranakan boleh bertutur dalam tiga bahasa, dan bercakap dengan orang Cina, Melayu dan British. Antara kerjaya yang diceburi mereka termasuk saudagar, pedagang dan orang tengah yang menguruskan perhubungan antara China, Tanah Melayu dan kuasa Barat; yang mana amat dihargai oleh British memandangkan Baba mempunyai hubungan baik dengan komuniti Melayu dan berkhidmat sebagai penasihat kepada mahkamah Melayu. Hakikatnya, istilah “Baba” ialah gelaran hormat dalam bahasa Melayu; yang mungkin diambil daripada bahasa Hindi/Sanskrit [Baba: secara literal bermaksud datuk atau ayah dan digunakan sebagai istilah hormat dan mesra untuk seorang lelaki tua.]

Budaya

babanyonya001

Baba Nyonya ialah hasil daripada perkahwinan perempuan Melayu dan lelaki Cina. Adalah perkara biasa bagi pedagang Cina pada zaman dahulu untuk mengahwini perempuan Melayu dari Semenanjung Malaysia atau mengambil mereka sebagai gundik. Kesannya, Baba Nyonya menghasilkan campuran unik ciri budaya Melayu. Komuniti Peranakan pada waktu itu dikahwinkan sesama mereka menerusi aturan keluarga. Perkahwinan pada waktu dahulu tidaklah semudah dan seringkas seperti sekarang; perkahwinan sedarjat dan setempat merupakan kebiasaan ketika itu.

Komuniti Baba Nyonya mempunyai pelbagai adat dan tradisi unik terutamanya dalam hal perkahwinan. Hantaran lamaran diletakkan dalam bakul berkilat dua tingkat, juga dikenali sebagai Bakul Siah, dan diberikan kepada ibu bapa pengantin perempuan oleh pengantara yang bercakap bagi pihak yang menghantar lamaran. Kadangkala, sebagai ganti Bakul Siah, orang Peranakan yang kaya akan menggunakan talam yang berbentuk pagoda yang disulam indah (dalam Bahasa Indonesia dikenali sebagai Botekan Candi).

Jemputan perkahwinan bertemakan merah kerana warna merah melambangkan kebahagiaan dan keharmonian. Kad jemputan selalunya dihantar oleh penghantar yang dikenali sebagai “Pak Chindek”, yang mengambil masa lebih kurang enam hari untuk menghantar kesemua kad jemputan tersebut.

Majlis perkahwinan mereka banyak berasaskan tradisi masyarakat Cina dan merupakan salah satu majlis perkahwinan yang paling menarik dan berwarna-warni di Malaysia. Kemuncak majlis tersebut ialah majlis dan jamuan selama 12 hari yang dinamakan ‘makan tok panjang’ yang membawa maksud pesta meja panjang.

Dondang Sayang

Dalam budaya masyarakat Cina, adalah amat penting untuk melangsungkan perkahwinan pada hari yang bertuah dan pada masa yang tertentu. Adat yang sama dipraktikkan bagi masyarakat Baba Nyonya. Hari tersebut akan dipilih berdasarkan lapan huruf Cina yang dipanggil “pek ji” oleh masyarakat Hokkien, berdasarkan tarikh dan masa kelahiran seseorang. Pada masa tersebut, segala pantang-larang akan dipatuhi sepenuhnya. Perkahwinan yang diadakan kebanyakannya diaturkan dan keputusan untuk melangsungkan perkahwinan diputuskan oleh ibubapa atau orang tua, walaupun pengantin perempuan dan lelaki telah dirunding terlebih dahulu. Tatacara perkahwinan disaksikan oleh nenek moyang, orang tua dan para dewa. Hantaran perkahwinan biasanya bercirikan warna-warna yang melambangkan kemewahan seperti merah, merah jambu, jingga, emas dan kuning dan serta disulamkan dengan motif-motif unik untuk mewujudkan perkahwinan yang baik. Seperti masyarakat Cina, mereka percaya bahawa barang yang berpasangan membawa tuah, atas sebab tu, setiap jenis hantaran perkahwinan akan diberikan secara berpasangan.

 

Makanan

Some popular Nyonya dishes

Juadah Nyonya yang popular

Budaya Baba Nyonya adalah hasil perkembangan akulturasi yang terjadi apabila satu budaya menerima dan mengasimilasikan adat resam dan unsur dari luar. Persamaan antara budaya Baba Nyonya dan Melayu dapat dilihat pada makanan dan cara pemakaian. Terdapat banyak masakan Nyonya yang sama seperti masakan Melayu sebagai contoh “bubur cha cha”, “nasi kerabu”, “sambal” dan “embuk-embuk”.

Dipengaruhi oleh budaya Melayu, hidangan Nyonya menggunakan herba Melayu umum yang sama. Antara contoh masakan Nyonya ialah Ayam Kapitan, iaitu kari ayam kering. Laksa Nyonya merupakan masakan yang sangat popular di Malaysia dan boleh dinikmati di Melaka dan juga Singapura. Pongteh juga merupakan satu lagi masakan unik bagi komuniti Baba Nyonya. Bahan utama bagi masakan yang menyelerakan ini adalah bawang merah, taucu, ayam dan cendawan shitake.

Pencuci mulut pula, terdapat banyak kuih tradisional Nyonya yang terkenal seperti Kueh Kochi, Lepat Kacang, Apom Balik, Kueh Bongkong, Pulot Inti, Ondeh-Ondeh, Kueh Genggang dan banyak lagi. Kuih-muih tradisional ini juga disediakan semasa perayaan dan keraian.

Bahasa

Masyarakat Baba Nyonya bertutur bahasa Melayu Baba, iaitu bahasa dialek yang mengandungi perkataan dari Bahasa Melayu dan Hokkien. Atas kebolehan mereka menyesuaikan diri dengan budaya tempatan, kebanyakan Baba Nyonya boleh bertutur dua jenis bahasa dan dialek, atau lebih, seperti Melayu Baba, Bahasa Inggeris dan Bahasa Cina.

Kini, dialek Melayu Baba merupakan bahasa yang hampir pupus kerana kebanyakkannya digunakan oleh generasi yang berusia. Ramai generasi muda tidak lagi tahu bertutur dalam dialek tersebut dan lebih kerap bertutur dalam Bahasa Inggeris atau Cina sebagai bahasa utama mereka.

 

Pakaian

babanyonya004a

Pakaian tradisional Baba Nyonya termasuk Baju Panjang, dipakai bersama Kain Sarung (diperbuat daripada batik) dan 3 kerongsang. Selipar manik yang dipanggil Kasot Manek-Manek, disulam tangan dengan mahir dan teliti, menampilkan manik potongan kaca kecil pelbagai sisi (Manek Potong) dari Bohemia.

Kebanyakan Kasot Manek-Manek tradisional bertemakan bunga dan kesenian Timur, dipengaruhi kain batik sarung dan porselin Peranakan. Sebahagian besar daripada kasut ini dijadikan kasut tapak rata atau selipar bilik tidur, tetapi sejak tahun 1930-an, tumit kasut telah ditambah secara beransur-ansur.

Melayu tradisional untuk wanita dan sering dipakai bersama tudung. Pada asalnya pakaian ini lebih panjang dan longgar, telah dipopularkan pada abad ke-19 oleh Sultan Abu Bakar Johor. Kini, pakaian ini merupakan pakaian kebangsaan untuk Malaysia dan Brunei.
Sarung

Kain Sarung merupakan sehelai kain panjang yang sering dibalut di sekeliling pinggang. Selalunya, Kain Sarung dipakai oleh lelaki di negara-negara Asia Tenggara seperti Malaysia, Singapura dan Brunei. Kain ini ditenun dengan corak dam atau petak dan juga dihasilkan dalam pelbagai warna, reka bentuk serta cetakan. Sekarang, kain ini boleh didapati dengan reka bentuk cetakan kulit haiwan atau tumbuh-tumbuhan.
Kerosang

Kerongsang sering dihasilkan daripada logam seperti perak dan emas serta dihiasi dengan batu permata. Kerongsang boleh digunakan sebagai perhiasan, tetapi selalunya kerongsang digunakan untuk mengancing pakaian, seperti Baju Panjang.

 

Agama

babanyonya010

Masyarakat Baba Nyonya telah menyesuaikan diri dengan sistem kepercayaan Cina, seperti Buddha, Konfucianisme dan Taoisme serta agama Kristian. Seperti orang Cina, mereka juga meraikan Tahun Baru Bulan, Pesta Tanglung dan pelbagai sambutan China yang lain. Budaya mereka juga dipengaruhi oleh British, Belanda, Portugis, Melayu dan Indonesia.

Seperti mana-mana budaya lain, masyarakat Baba Nyonya sangat mempercayai pantang larang, terutama generasi yang lebih tua. Terdapat beberapa pantang larang yang dianggap terlalu tegar dan rumit. Hari ini, selaras dengan zaman moden, kebanyakan Baba Nyonya tidak lagi mengamalkan pantang larang.

Masyarakat Baba Nyonya juga percaya dengan dukun (pengamal sihir). Contohnya, apabila bayi menangis tanpa henti, mereka akan mendapatkan bantuan daripada dukun kerana mereka percaya bahawa roh jahat sedang menggangu. Satu lagi pantang larang melibatkan larangan wanita hamil daripada meninggalkan rumah mereka pada waktu senja kerana mereka percaya bahawa pada waktu ini syaitan dan roh-roh jahat sedang aktif. Mereka juga percaya bahawa darah wanita hamil menarik Pontianak (wanita yang meninggal dunia ketika bersalin dan bertukar menjadi roh). Apabila seorang wanita hamil melakukan perjalanan, mereka akan selalu membawa barang-barang yang diperbuat daripada logam seperti pisau, kerana mereka percaya bahawa logam menghalau roh-roh jahat.

Barangan budaya dan sejarah daripada budaya Baba Nyonya dipaparkan di Muzium Warisan Baba dan Nyonya, Muzium Perhiasan Cina Selat dan lain-lain pertubuhan sejarah yang terdapat di sekitar Jalan Hang Jebat (Jonker Street) dan Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Heeren Street) di Melaka.

Filemografi

Films that featured the Baba Nyonya culture

Filem yang memaparkan budaya Baba Nyonya

Pada tahun 1950-an, budaya Baba Nyonya dipaparkan dalam beberapa filem Hong Kong seperti Niangre/ Nyonya (娘惹,1952), Fengyu Niuche Shui/ Rainstorm in China town (风雨牛车水,1956), Niangre yu Baba/ Nyonya and Baba (娘惹与峇峇,1956), and Niangre Zhi lian/ Love with a Malaysian Girl (娘惹之恋,1969).

Di Malaysia, populariti rancangan drama komedi bertajuk “Baba Nyonya” menjadi drama bersiri TV paling lama ditayangkan. Rancangan TV tersebut ditayangkan bermula dari lewat 1990-an sehingga tahun 2000 dengan jumlah 509 episod serta dicatatkan dalam Malaysian Book of Records.

Seni bina

Baba Nyonya mempunyai seni bina unik yang menggabungkan komponen Timur dan Barat seperti hasil kerja plaster dan seni seramik. Mereka sangat terkenal dengan banglo kolonial yang unik. Di kebanyakan rumah, anda akan melihat penerapan karya seni tersendiri dari budaya Melayu dan Cina, yang sudah pasti satu-satu seumpamanya.

Seni bina harta tanah Baba dan Nyonya selalu dikaitkan dengan Gaya Eklektik Selat. Rumah Kedai Eklektik Selat mula muncul di pertengahan hingga penghujung abad ke-20 (1940 – 1990). Pada awal abad ke-20, rumah kedai di Petempatan Selat mula menggabungkan tingkap Perancis dengan bidai kayu bersaiz penuh, ambang melengkung atau segi empat tepat di atas bukaan tingkap, susunan klasik pilaster dan lepekan plaster. Konkrit bertetulang kemudiannya digunakan untuk membenarkan unjuran bumbung yang lebih luas dan braket yang dijulur lebih rumit yang terkeluar dari atas pilaster.

 

Rumah kedai

Rumah kedai, mempunyai dua tingkat atau lebih. Tingkat pertama biasanya digunakan untuk tujuan komersil seperti gudang atau kedai runcit dan tingkat kedua dijadikan sebagai tempat tinggal. Rumah kedai bukanlah bangunan tunggal. Sama seperti rumah teres, rumah kedai merupakan salah satu daripada beberapa unit yang berkongsi dinding pembahagi. Satu bangunan boleh terdiri daripada beberapa rumah kedai.

babanyonya016

Rumah kedai mudah dijumpai di kawasan bandar di Malaysia. Ada yang suka untuk tinggal di rumah kedai ini tanpa mempunyai niat untuk menjalankan perniagaan. Bangunan itu akan mempunyai pintu masuk besar dengan kayu yang diselak pada pintu dan dilengkapi dengan tingkap. Kaki lima atau laluan jalan kaki dengan beranda merupakan salah satu ciri unik rumah ini. Kaki lima tertutup biasanya memaparkan bukaan lengkung yang menyambungkan rumah dengan bahagian berhadapan dengan jalan. Ciri yang menonjol ini telah menjadi ciri rumah Baba Nyonya yang mudah dikenali.

    Found this old post , an example shown to us how compassionate Rinpoche was, helping those vendors on the streets . No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Be kind whenever possible we could do to help those in need. It is always possible. In the second video showing how much care Rinpoche serving foods to workers and sharing, explaining with them about Dharma. Rinpoche kindness in action has inspired us to be kind and helping those who might fighting a hard battle. Everywhere we go, leave a glitter trail of kindness behind us if possible..

    Pilgrimage is important in Buddhism because it deepens spiritual understanding, fosters a connection to the Buddha’s life and teachings. It also provides us the opportunities for personal transformation. It helps practitioners to purify negative karma, cultivate positive merit, and strengthen their devotion to the Three Jewels. Visiting sacred sites can also inspire virtuous conduct and a sense of urgency in practicing the faith. Some places of pilgrimage have powerful energy which can bring our mind to present moment. Major sites of Buddhist pilgrimage are often found in northern India in places associated with the Buddha’s life, teaching and enlightenment. Going on a pilgrimage gives us a chance to step away from the chaos of our schedules.
    Reading this article again reminds me of my pilgrimage to Nepal years back,. It’s a once life time trip but I am glad made it twice.
    It’s a great memories for Pastor David and Paul who brought their parents om pilgrimage to India and Nepal. Awesome …they embarked on a spiritual journey in India and Nepal visited sacred temples, ancient Buddhist sites and Serpom Monastery.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing

    The Nature of the mind is a central concept across various philosophical traditions, It generally refers to the mind’s intrinsic characteristics. As it believed to encompass awareness, purity, and a capacity for both peace and agitation. Most spiritual traditions offer some combination of four practices for those who would seek to know their true nature. We could self-transform through training our mind. When we face difficult situations and things go poorly in our lives, if we’re able to change our attitudes toward them, we’ll be able to transform these experiences into ones that will further our spiritual progress. A profound teachings indeed for us to understand more about the true nature of our minds and how we can transform our minds through sincerely practicing.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing

    Wow…..800 White Tara statues been offered to HE Tsem Rinpoche from the Board of Directors in Kechara. Tsem Rinpoche kept 3 and the rest was offered to the monks in Shar Gaden Monastery back in 2013. That’s more beneficial and having arranged these statues shipped to India for the monks at the monastery on Rinpoche behalf. October 2014, Beng Kooi and her team of 5 people, along with 29 pilgrims had their first experience travelling to a monastic setting. Rejoice to them such a meaningful journey whereby they met with many high lamas and many old, holy monks. They did offered the White Tara statues, robes, books, food, drinks and many wonderful and beautiful pictures offerings to the monks. Looking at those pictures in this blog post tells more. Truly a great memories for them.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Self-Arising Chenrezig”a statue believed to have manifested on its own, without human hands. It is a powerful symbol of the Bodhisattva of Compassion either in forms of male and female according to culture and the needs of society. There are many places where great enlightened beings and mahasiddhas who have practised shown miracles. Self-arisen images of the deities have manifested , the Phagpa Temple at Triloknath, Himachal Pradesh is one such place. The Trilokinath Temple is a sacred site in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, India, unique 8th-century temple for being revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. The temple, located near the Chenab River and Udaipur, features a blend of architectural styles and religious elements from both faiths. Merely looking at this Self Arising Chenrezig statue is a blessing. This statue is extremely precious and we should make prostrations, offerings and prayers to it as much as possible. If given a chance of visiting this temple I would definitely love to. Well there is an interesting legend behind this Sacred Chenrezig Statue.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this great sharing.

    Impermanence is important in Buddhism because it is a key to reducing suffering by helping practitioners let go of attachment to the transient nature of all things. Recognizing that everything we own, from material possessions to emotions and even life itself is temporary. From that point of view ,it encourages one to live in the present, develop resilience, and find inner peace. We have to except the fact we came to this whole with nothing ,goes with nothing. Recognizing and accepting impermanence is considered key to understanding and overcoming suffering. When we attach to things we perceive as permanent will leads us to disappointment and pain. The Buddha teaches that the path to peace and joy requires that we embrace change rather than pine for permanence. Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this very precise post.

    Different religions and faiths have unique teachings ,and thwew is no right or wrong. All have their respective views of divinity, humanity’s relationship with the divine . Many faiths share common principles, like compassion and ethical conduct. All religions in the world teach us empathy, compassion, harmony and respect.
    Love peace harmony kindness balance of mind health body and spirit. Respect for all things. That’s true religion. They differ in practices and methods, but they ultimately lead to the same goal.
    Thank you Rinpoche interesting topic shared.

    Thank you H E Tsem Rinpoche and Pastor Seng Piow for creating this YouTube channel which has benefited many people all over the world. Great idea indeed where we learn , from the Dharma sharing. Pastor Seng Piow first started Rinpoche YouTube channel years ago back 2006. A very powerful Dharma talk and sharing by Tsem Rinpoche that covers a wide range of topics, and with Rinpoche explanation we could understand better. Kechara blog team has compiled a collection of videos, for us . It did help me to understand and learn more of Dharma through those videos. More to learn for me . Merely by listening to Rinpoche voice is a blessing.
    Thanks again with folded hands……

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
